what do you think happens in yemen if we put more arms in yemen? more or less refugees? there will be millions of refugees coming. they will be flooding out of yemen if they can get out of there as the war accelerates. does saudi arabia help with the refugees? does qatar help? do any of the gulf states take any refugees? zero. saudi arabia has taken zero refugees. so while they fan the flames, while they send arms into syria and arms into yemen and bombs into yemen, they take zero refugees from yemen or from syria. somehow it always seems to be america's responsibility to pay for everything and to absorb the brunt of the civil wars throughout the middle east. i think there's another answer. i'm not saying that we can'ting allied with saudi arabia, but i'm saying they need a significant message sent to them. i'm saying they need to change their behavior. and i'm saying that there needs to be evidence that saudi arabia has changed their behavior. this evidence needs to be that they quit funding madrasas that preach hate, that they come into the modern world and quit behead
